We want to give everyone an early heads-up regarding our plan to implement a guild relocation service for World of Warcraft. The idea is for a guild leader to be able to transfer a guild to another realm. The guild structure remains intact, including the guild leader, guild bank, ranks, and guild name (depending on availability).

Guild members who decide to relocate with their guild may initiate their own paid character transfer. Upon a successful transfer they will automatically be part of the guild when they first log into the new realm. Their guild rank and guild reputation will be intact.

Guild leaders who do not want a change of scenery may also choose to pick a new guild name using another new service. These services are in development and we will be providing additional details at a future point in time.

As with all of the features and services we offer, we intend to incorporate the guild relocation service in a way that will not disrupt the game play experience. Please note that this feature will require extensive internal testing, so you may see bits and pieces of the service appear on the public test realms. We'll announce further details at http://www.WorldofWarcraft.com .

Blizzard really having a hard time figuring out that guilds are dropping off like fies due to cataclysm, not due to the lack of ability to transfer realms????

Really???

I wonder if they would tell former members where the guild leader transferred to? I can see it now, log in one day and your guild leader has moved to another server, taking the whole guild bank, and not telling anyone.

A guild leader can already disband a level 25 guild and wipe out thousands of hours of players' progress and access to rewards they earned.

The new guild system is one of the most retarded design systems blizzard ever came up with.

And yet, Blizzard STILL hasn't implemented an ability to order pizza in-game for a slight transfer fee. Come on, Blizz, get on the ball, it's a great money maker! <rolleyes>

You should trust and respect your guild leader, so this shouldn't be an issue. Kinda sad how things have evolved though for this to be an occasional occurrence.

At least they can use all this new income to fund the development of new and exciting content like an update ZG or ZA!

Holy crap, Sprawl has become cynical towards Blizzard and WoW. Ok, this game is definitely on the decline. Glad I let my sub laps.

And no, I'm not joking.

Think about it... with the guild progress system, they HAD to add something like this.
I see nothing wrong here. It's a logical addition so guilds can change server without losing their progression.

Same for guild names. Before, you just had to disband, buy a new guild charter, select the new name, and you were good, nothing lost except a bit time to re-invite everybody. You can't do that anymore, or you'll lose all your progression. So it's logical that they add a guild rename service.

Large guilds disband/meltdown all the time and it is an extremely common occurrence.

And people are forced to trust the guild leader, which is THE gist of the problem. Self absorbed asshat guild leaders have the ability to wipe out the progress of literally hundreds of players on their server with simple command: /gdisband.

Most, retarded, design, ever.

Has there been a game where a Guild Leader could not disband a guild?

Maybe they're just getting ready for server mergers? [smirk] Or, as others have suggested, it's just another way for them to make a quick buck.
